my name is Rachel and iam 16 and this boy asked me out yesterday at school,but he told me to keep it secrete is this normal for a boy who just started dating a girl to want to keep their relationship secret from evrybody?If it's not normal what should I do?
TinkerbellsHelp answered Sunday March 26 2006, 6:09 pm: I dont think its too weird. He is probably just shy and embarressed. Maybe its his first time dating? Or maybe he is just a lacking a little confidence and wants to wait until you guys date for a while. If it bothers you, talk to him about it. Maybe ask him why he wants it a secret, and maybe you can persuade him to not be so secrety about it.

gentlegiant answered Saturday March 25 2006, 12:34 pm: It is normal especially at 16 for a guy to keep it secret? Why? because if he tells everyone and you two break up after a short period he loses his pride and his self esteem goes down. However if you two have been together for a couple months already he will feel more confident and it will come out in the open. Don't worry. A lot of guys are like that. Just be happy. Have good times together. Life is short. Just be yourself. Once he feels comfortable, things will be better. [ gentlegiant's advice column | Ask gentlegiant A Question ]

Try talking to him, and see if you can find out why he's so worried about keeping your relationship on the DL. If he can't give a good reason, end it.

megz2009 answered Friday March 24 2006, 6:43 pm: Hi Rachel!
Boys can be confusing sometimes. He may just want to make sure that the relationship works out before you tell anybody. But then again, he probably should have made sure that he thought it would before he asked you out. But to me this doesn't sound normal. Wouldn't a good guy want to show you off to the world? (I am a hopeless romantic, i'm sorry, lol) Ask him why he wants to keep it a secret, it's as easy as that :). He may or may not have a great answer, but his answer should give you enough info for you to make your decision. Hope this all made sense. Good Luck Megz [ megz2009's advice column | Ask megz2009 A Question ]

Alpha345 answered Friday March 24 2006, 6:31 pm: Why is he keeping it a secret?
Normally, when people first starting going out, don't they want everyone to know? Or atleast have their friends know?
Something doesn't seem right there. Ask him why he wants it kept secret because deserve to know why.
